Album Notes
Audioslave: Chris Cornell (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); Tim Commerford (bass); Brad Wilk (drums).Recorded at Cello Studios, Royaltone Studios, Burbank, Akadamie Mathematique Of Philosophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, California; Audio Litho, Studio X, Seattle, Washington.AUDIOSLAVE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album."Like A Stone" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.Personnel: Chris Cornell (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); Brad Wilk (drums).Audio Mixer: Rich Costey.Recording information: Akadamie Mathematique Of Philosophical Sound Research,; Cello Studios, Hollywood, CA; Royaltone, Studios, Burbank, CA; Studio Litho, Seattle, WA; Studio X, Seattle WA.Photographers: Rupert Truman; Danny Clinch.Arranger: Audioslave.A modern day super-group composed of ex-members of heavy rock titans Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave was subject to some pretty high fan expectations. Luckily, the group delivers just what the doctor ordered: a seamless mix of the styles that made the individual members famous. Basically a stoner rock record par excellence, AUDIOSLAVE strips the genre down to its core, serving up one pile-driving riff after another with minimal, but perfectly placed, production flash. In any given song, the band repeats said riffs with even more bone-crushing attitude each time.Just when the listener thinks his/her head will go numb from too much stud-rock low E-string twanging and Montrose-era Sammy Hagar-esque wailing, however, Audioslave wisely throws in a ballad. Sure, it's a proven rock formula, but these guys are professionals fully in control of the situation; AUDIOSLAVE bristles with a no-frills, offhand intensity that throws down and reminds those silly nu-metal poseurs what heavy rock is all about.

...The metal is as taut as a rubber band....If you want simple elevation by way of accomplished rock band, AUDIOSLAVE is ready to serve...

Audioslave Debuts and Makes a Splash

Created: 24/09/06
Well if you liked Rage Against the Machine and/or Soundgarden, then you really should have no problems enjoying Audioslave. They take the music of Rage Against the Machine - slow it down a little, perhaps not so wild and chaotic sounding - then add the vocals of the former Soundgarden lead singer, and you get Audioslave. As I said, the music doesn't exactly sound like either of the former bands. It's not so jumoy and up and down as RATM sound once was, but it's not so heavy as Soundgarden was. It blends similar elements from both to present a very good sound. There's some great guitar moments that will remind you of both bands, but overall the sound is something quite new. There's a decent sounding bass line for pretty much every song, some great guitar solos and Cornell's voice is still in tip-top shape and he shows it by singing loudly, quietly, softly, slowly and with just great balance. This album has many great songs, but the only thing that might turn some people is that many songs have lengths pushing 4 or more minutes. Now, some of us don't mind, but many people seem to have ADD when it comes to music and cannot tolerate songs that aren't about 2:30 to 3 minutes long. If you don't like medium to long length songs, then perhaps Audioslave is not for you. Their sound also presents a variety, at times sounding heavy, jazzy, popish, etc. They really stretch every song and sound for what it's worth to present a really fresh sounding album.

Very Good CD,Just Not Noteworthy....OOPS, NEVERMIND

Created: 12/04/08
This is a very good CD....just not excellent. There was nothing really memorable about it. I heard "Like A Stone" on a rock station and I liked it, so I bought the CD. I've played it a few times and I enjoy it but it hasn't affected me enough that I want to wear it out. Maybe it will grow on me and I'll have to revise my review.

Now I'm going to eat a little crow. I'll admit it took me a while to get the total affect of Audioslave but I finally realized how great they are. They are a sensuous, jazzy, hard rock treat. I've fallen in love with Chris Cornell's sexy, raspy, sandpaper voice. I'll definitely be buying more Audioslave.

Audioslave FTW

Created: 11/04/11
A great debut CD by this colossus group. I highly recommend this CD, as well as the other CD from these guys. Morello is an amazing guitarist and Chris has an amazing voice. Along with sick bass lines and a gorgeous drum beat, this is a top band!

I tried to pick one or two songs from this album as my favorites, but I can't pick one or two. This entire album rocks! If you like Rage Against The Machine, if you like Soundgarden, you WILL love this album! Buy it!

The Highway to Hell becomes the Highway to Heaven.

The road is twisted and long gone before you know it. If your thinking about making a life change, find a reason to drive somewhere and press play. "Like a Stone", "Shadow of the Sun", and "I am the Highway" are some of the best cuts ever etched into musical stone. This album will bring back memories, pull on your adrenaline and put lead in your foot.
